Background

Glutinous rice cake or kuih bakul is significant to the Chinese community especially during Chinese New Year. It is made out of only three ingredients such as glutinous rice flour, sugar and water. The steps are very easy but it only requires a long time to cook it. For the full recipe to making your own kuih bakul, check out the recipe here.

Frying “Kuih Bakul” (glutinous rice cake) together with slices of taro and sweet potatoes is another way of preparing glutinous rice cake. The crispiness of the batter and the sweetness of the soft glutinous rice cake together with the taro and sweet potatoes makes this a treat.
